Brookies

You no longer have to choose between two of the nation’s most popular bakes. Brookies are a double-layered treat combining a chewy chocolate chip cookie with a rich brownie. Sprinkle with a little sea salt if you like, then fill the cake tin for the festive season. Or cut into smaller squares and package them up with ribbon to give as gifts.
